Labor of love, no doubt for us all, but is any one else noticing the rapidly increasing Forceware bloat?
I guess you could call it that but all their apps are pretty useful. If you dig a bit you can usually find the driver only download sans the apps. |

Just turn off the multicore option in Left4Dead.
Problem solved. But won't turning off multicore support result in lower FPS? |

| I went back to the 178.24 driver and it solved the problem. I also downloaded the leaked 185.20 driver and that also has the stuttering problem. |

| Or you can just turn off multi-core support under advanced graphics options. It solved the problem on my rig and I didn't notice any drop in performance ... |

I tried this driver set today, and experienced the L4D stuttering problem. I dropped back to v178.24 and the problem is gone.
I guess I'll stay where I am till I finish putting together a new system.
Thanks for confirming it as a known issue.

As if driver installs weren't a chore enough, but now there are multiple elements: Video Driver, PhysX, ntune/system clock, application profiles, and some strange control panel "click here for more" stuff going on.

I don't have this problem and no one I know has complained about it, and we're not using old drivers like that. Might be a conflict on your system. Not a problem on my system only. Others are experiencing it as well. Do a search for "stuttering" on steam's left 4 dead forums. The problem is nvidia drivers and L4D's mulitcore support. You can solve the problem multiple ways like using the 178.xx drivers or disable multicore support in game and/or setting mat_queue 0 in game console or adding +mat_queue_mode 0 commandline of the game or running the game in a borderless window.

| You should only need Driver Cleaner/Sweeper if you're troubleshooting a problem or downgrading drivers to older versions. For regular updating, it isn't really needed - despite what the purists will tell you. |

I can confirm that these drivers haven't fixed the stuttering problem which is actually a stopping problem where everything sound and everything else stops for 1 or 3 or 5 seconds at a time. I can say that the stuttering is less frequent than previous releases. The only driver that does not have this problem is 179 driver.

| FYI - the performance improvements listed are in comparison to the 179 drivers, not the 180 drivers released last month. The 180 drivers listed the same performance improvements. |

Is there any official word about the stuttering problem with Left 4 Dead and certain versions of the nvidia drivers?
The only version that I have found that does not have the stuttering problem is 178.24

Booting into safe mode and using Driver Cleaner Pro is mentioned in the NVIDIA forums
WOW, thanks for bringing back memory's from the 90's for me..hehe Actually in the last 9 years I have never had to do that. The new drivers will automatically remove the old ones & copy over the new files, then reboot & your done. Simple. |
